We characterize this phenomenon theoretically to understand the capabilities and limitations for utilizing eigenvectors in this venture. We provide algorithms for approximating these eigenvectors and give numerical results, both for software that utilizes complex arithmetic and software that is limited to real arithmetic. Additionally, we discuss the application of these techniques to motif detection. ===affil3: ===title: Detecting Highly-Cyclic Structure with Complex Eigenpairs ===affil2: Lawrence Livermore National Lab ===lastname2: Sanders ===firstname4: ===keyword1: Iterative Linear Algebraic Data Mining Techniques ===workshop: yes ===lastname: Klymko ===firstname5: ===keyword2: Eigenvalue and singular value methods and applications ===otherauths: ===affil4: ===competition: no ===firstname7: ===firstname6: ===keyword_other1: ===lastname5: ===affilother: ===firstname2: Geoffrey
